The same pharmaceutical company is embarking on developing a drug that would also be life- saving but does not have side effects that are as negative. In this exploratory phase, scientists conduct preliminary experiments in the lab to screen chemical compounds to see which ones might be promising. Each experiment has an associated p-value regarding its effect. Which p- value below would allow scientists to cast the broadest net looking for possible compounds to pursue (knowing that some of them might not work out)? a. 0.001 b. 0.01 c. 0.03 d. 0.10.
